Two ways to begin a walk in Vero.

Start with the historic mainland streets of Osceola Park or a beachside walk from Humiston.

Osceola Park, block by block

The street grid is a good place to begin in Osceola Park. Plans for the neighborhood date to the 1910s, but its houses went up over more than forty years. On a walk, look at how the rooflines and the distance from the front door to the street change from one block to the next. The historic district covers about forty acres. Florida’s marker places it between 18th and 20th streets and 20th and 23rd avenues. Those boundaries are useful if you want to look at a particular address in the city’s records.

Beachside: start at Humiston

At 3000 Ocean Drive, Humiston Beach Park offers a public starting point beside the Atlantic. Check the city’s park information before a visit, then read our Journal note about selected art Sundays nearby.
